Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Jolyne, having already reached the limit, did not go any further.

Because Dio remains motionless.

If he doesn't come over on his own initiative, we can't act rashly.

Even if they use all their attacks, once they enter the range of Dio's Stand, they're basically free kills.

"What's wrong? Aren't you coming?"

Dior's pale hand ripped off his white staff uniform, revealing a black vest and a beautiful, muscular body.

"Or... are you intimidated by me and dare not act?" Dio said coldly. "Now I'll give you a choice: kneel down and I'll spare your lives... However, the Joestar family doesn't receive such precious treatment, because you are as annoying as dog shit on my path of destiny!"

Lu Ye raised his hand, and the Silver Dancer fired a bullet directly at Dio's head.

The subsonic bullets fired in a sneak attack could only be blocked by Dio by activating his Stand's power.

The simplest way to determine if DIO still has the ability to stop time is this!

However, as if by premonition, at the same moment Lu Ye pulled the trigger, a corpse in front of Dio suddenly stood up, blocking the bullet for Dio, and fell down.

"Are you kidding me...?" Lu Ye gripped his pistol tightly. "Turning into a zombie at this point? This guy's luck is just too good!"

"snort……!"

Just as Lu Ye was about to raise his hand to fire his second shot at the confident Dio.

But then the person who had been shot stood up again and stood in front of Dio.

"That guy actually survived..." FF said, "What's this?!"

“That’s why I told you not to fight the infected people before. These are ‘corpse-people’,” Polnareff said. “Although it was something Mr. Joseph mentioned decades ago on the way to Egypt, I remember it very clearly because it was about Dio. Mr. Joseph seemed to have heard it from his grandmother, Alina. It’s said that Dio has a stone mask that can transform people into undead creatures that obey his commands… like those mutated creatures outside that can be raised. But now it seems that Dio can transform them without the mask’s power.”

"Hmph... Of course, I, Dio, have surpassed humanity," Dio's lips curled into a smile. "I didn't expect you to remember my information so clearly so many years after my body 'perished.' Commendable, Polnareff. But now that you've become a mere turtle, what use are you?"

Dio looked at everyone.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack? Aren't you going to come any closer to me, Dio?" Dio said. "Perhaps I'm still too weak to use my Stand... Is there no one among you who can use a long-range Stand? Heh, that's a real shame..."

At this point, Dominic Pucci—the weather forecaster—stepped in.

He summoned a white, cloud-like stand-in—the Weather Forecast.

"You don't mean to say that none of us can pose a threat to you, do you? Look at the distance, the sun hasn't completely set yet. The weakness of the undead is the same as yours: sunlight!"

“Oh? You’re Enrique Pucci’s twin brother?” Dio said. “I heard you have the ability to manipulate the weather… It’s a real shame that brothers are killing each other.”

"Get ready! Weather Report!"

The dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed a bit, as if a smoke ring had appeared.

The setting sun shone from the center of the "circle".

"Huh? Using clouds to refract sunlight?" Dio showed a rather interested expression.

However, as the sunlight refracted, another undead man blocked Dio's path. After being exposed to the sunlight, his entire body seemed to be scorched, emitting puffs of white smoke. What terrified Jolyne and the others even more was that, at the last moment, this undead man actually returned to a "normal" state and let out a miserable scream.

"Aaaaaaah... It's so hot, so hot! Help me! Ah...!"

This was no illusion. In that final moment, Lu Ye and the others could clearly see that the man's mind had returned to normal, although his body had not returned to a normal human form.

While he was still "burning," Dio went to a dark corner and sat down.

One by one, the "corpses" on the ground got up.

These undead gathered around Dio, like loyal bodyguards protecting their king.

“Originally, I intended to use these undead to defeat you one by one, but since you were able to find my location so quickly and come from the top floor of the nearest shopping mall, it means there’s no need for that anymore… It’s perfect time to wipe you all out.”

With that, Dio snapped his fingers.

A series of low, zombie-like growls suddenly echoed around them. Then, a flurry of footsteps came from both sides of the staircase, followed by a large influx of zombies into the corridors on both sides of the hall. In an instant, the top floor of the entire NASA center became bloated.

"So many undead people... it's like a refugee camp from a disaster movie. How could Dio do something like this?"

“If they were just ordinary zombies, that would be one thing, but these are zombies created by mixing my cells,” Dio revealed a cold smile. “They are also affected by sunlight, but after the effects of the granulation tissue disappear, they will regain a certain degree of sanity, but their bodies will still be zombies… Even Josuke Higashikata’s ‘Crazy Diamond’ could not repair them. I remember you were born in Morioh, right? I have a subordinate who seems to live there. During Japan’s bubble economy era, he sold his soul for wealth… Judging from your expression, you have already met him, and I suppose you haven’t recovered yet?”

Dio spread his arms wide: "In other words, these people have only had their bodies modified, but their minds are still human. They were born as humans and died as monsters. These people are all stepping stones for me, Dio, to heaven. They should feel honored."

“You, you bastard…” Josuke gritted his teeth.

Yes, he remembered.

He has a good friend in Morioh named Nijimura Okuyasu.

His father... was Dio's subordinate. After Dio's death, the flesh bud went out of control and turned into a grotesque monster with a disordered mind.

The army of corpse-like beings began to surge towards Lu Ye and his companions.

Dio crossed his arms: "So... now that you understand this, even if you're Stand users, can you bring yourself to attack these people? Whether you can or not, dealing with scum like you doesn't even require me, Dio, to lift a finger. Let me see how your Joestar clan will act in a situation like this..."

"Damn it, what should we do now? Dio is too cunning. Although these guys look like zombies on the outside, they are still human on the inside. They are just controlled by Dio's flesh buds..." Aimes said, "I don't have the confidence to deal with these people!"

“Theoretically speaking,” Polnareff said, “since Dio uses flesh buds, then all we need to do is remove the flesh buds and kill Dio. Without Dio’s vampire powers, these tourists can return to normal.”

“There’s no other way, so we’ll just have to knock these guys out first,” Anna said. “Let’s break through directly and beat all these undead to a pulp, but don’t kill them.”

"I don't really care, but if I waste a lot of energy here, how am I going to beat that vampire later?" Black bullets condensed at the tip of FF's finger.

Faced with the slowly approaching undead, everyone was on the verge of hesitation.

If they don't take action soon, they're in for a world of trouble.

However, once they make their move, facing so many enemies, they not only have to deal with the problem of attrition, but also with the problem of force and Dio's surprise attack. After all, the force required to knock out a child and an elderly person is completely different.

The situation reached a stalemate.

Faced with such a large number of undead, Jolyne and the others were completely helpless.

Jolyne then looked at the weather forecast: "Weather, do you have any good ideas?"

"We can't use sunlight anymore..." the weather forecaster said calmly. "Otherwise, all these tourists will die. Go to the rooftop. I have a way to resolve the current crisis, but it has to be on the rooftop or in the open area downstairs, because all the zombies in the entire visitor center are currently gathered in this building. If we don't lure them out, the effect will be too slow..."

Chapter 777 Rainbow and Snail / Stormy Weather

"But...but the way is blocked, and the hall is packed with people. How are we supposed to get to the stairs?!"

“I can handle these undead,” Lu Ye said, “but I need backup to prevent Dio from ambushing me. That guy is strange; he could have launched an attack now, but he didn’t…”

“I’ll go with you,” Anna Sui said. “My ‘Sea Dragoon’ can penetrate your body and protect you from fatal damage.”

"That's good. This way, Dio will focus his attention on me."

"But how can you guarantee he won't attack Anna Sui?" FF asked curiously. "If you two enter Dio's firing range at the same time, it won't matter who protects whom; you'll both die."

"Have you ever played any card games where some cards have a 'taunt' effect? ​​... But in the world of card games I play, these 'taunt' cards have a reason to be attacked... Just watch, Dio will definitely target me."

As he spoke, Lu Ye drew the Mortal Blade.

Just as everyone was wondering where Lu Ye had pulled the knife from, Dio's eyelids suddenly twitched.

His vampire instincts told him so.

The only thing that must not be touched is that knife.

Lu Ye and Anna Sui rushed out.

Lu Ye wielded the blade, employing his traditional craftsmanship.

Since arriving here, he has swung his sword much less often, because he relies on his Stand to fight most of the time, and in most cases, only his Stand can defeat him.

However, Dio is not using Stand abilities at the moment.

Even so, these people are themselves very vulnerable.

Josuke and the others cannot maintain the same force precisely for a long time, but Lu Ye can.

If you ask why, it's because he's even slain the Beast of Elden, and the swordsmanship he learned from Mariania and Isshin Ashina has made the sword an extension of his body, allowing him to wield it with ease.

Lu Ye used the back of his blade and his stand-in, [Gray Age], to strike these "corpse-like beings," knocking them all down. It was as if a sharp scythe had been swiftly swept across a field of golden wheat straw, and these corpse-like beings were harvested by Lu Ye like flying straw.

Of course, Lu Ye used the back of the Mortal Blade to stun these people.

His actions left everyone dumbfounded.

"What... what is this? Could that guy's real body be a substitute?!"

"Are you kidding me...?"

"Hey, while the kid is surprising, now's not the time to be surprised!" Polnareff growled. "Get behind him on the road!"

Lu Ye swung the blade, its arc flashing.

Anna Sui could barely keep up with him, since getting too close might result in her being accidentally injured by the back of the knife.

Lu Ye knocked down these mutated tourists one by one, although it would have been easier to just kill them directly.

But as Polnareff said, these people can turn back.

This is not because Dio was being soft-hearted, but rather a design flaw.

Polnareff had this in mind, and the tourist who had been exposed to sunlight and turned into a zombie had confirmed it, which is why Jolyne and the others did not act rashly.

Because these "corpse-like people" in front of us are actually living, breathing human beings.

Due to the influence of granulation tissue, they did not fully transform.

These undead people surged in from all directions like a black tide, but their movements were slow in Lu Ye's eyes. With the help of the other people's substitutes, the group moved towards the stairwell in an orderly manner.

Xu Lun and his group followed closely behind Lu Ye.

Just then, Emporio shouted, "Dio! Dio is gone!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked towards the seats, their hearts leaping into their throats.

Dio, who was just sitting in the chair, is gone.

where is it?

Where is Dio?!

Could it be that he has already infiltrated the horde of undead, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack?

Jolyne immediately deployed a barrier of threads, but it was too late. The group was too close to the undead, and Dio was able to easily reach within the range of his Stand and use his ability to wipe out Jolyne and her group.
